Is it possible to invoke Java RMI asynchronously? I’d like my RMI call to return immediately and for the server to invoke a callback once a task is completed.
I’d currently using RMI support from Spring framework, and i couldn’t find any documentation describing it in spring, I suspect I’ll need to implement it myself. Please provide examples if possible.
Thanks in advance!
RMI is synchronous and doesn’t support callbacks as far as I know.
JMS is the Java EE way to make asynch calls. If you’re using Spring, it would be a message-driven POJO.
Another place to look, since you’re already using Spring, is either Spring Batch or Spring Integration. I’d try either of those before I wrote it myself.
But if that doesn’t do it for you, your suspicion is correct – you’ll have to implement it yourself.
